I guess this shows it. Time to move his desk across the aisle. Oh and find a good Democrat to replace him when he stands for election.

When he lost the primary to Ned Lamont, Lieberman realized he had to shift to the left, and did so for the general election. Now, here is he supporting John McCain, a man who will endanger Israel by inflaming the Middle East further, a man who will end Roe v Wade through Judicial appointments (a measure Lieberman claims to support), a man who's tax cuts will disproportionately favor the richest Americans (again, something Lieberman claims to oppose). Better hope McCain has a VP seat for you Joe. Otherwise, I think you may be burning whatever bridges you have left in strongly Democratic CT.

The American people must accept who wins by the majority and then move on and work together instead of the constant whining. Mc Cain and Lieberman are trying to show how it can be achieved. Chill out and work together.

After his choices in the last year or so...... I hope John McCain will have something in his cabinet for the sen. from Conn. I am going to guess that Joe will have great difficulty keeping his Senate seat in the future. Funny....the only ones who care about Joe is the Republicans.

His comments are useless considering he doesnt even know where he stands on issues - come on man, are you democrat, are you independent, are you republican, or is it all based on who rubbed you right the night before.

It's like he says, folks: get past partisanship so we can some things done. Competent governance of this country has been paralyzed since Ronald Reagan let the rabid right out of its cage 30 years ago. We need to put loyalty to the country's needs and goals above loyalty to ideology -- which most politicians have talked about but few do. Lieberman is one who does and should be admired for his courage and example, not vilified for not toeing a party line. I don't support McCain, but Lieberman is no traitor.

He should be citing with his own party, the democrats on issues. But he choose to act in the best interest of the country to elect a man with experience ready to lead. Obviously he is less concerned about chairmanship and more concerned about our country's future. Joe is not acting like a regular congressman. Joe is not acting like a congressman.
